Movie About Women’s Suffrage and State Rep. Harry T. Burn (TN): Iron Jawed Angels.
Letter from mom in East TN to her son who changed his vote in the Tennessee General Assembly. It reads:
Dear Son,
Hurrah and vote for Suffrage and don’t keep them in doubt. I noticed Chandlers’ speech, it was very bitter. I’ve been watching to see how you stood but have not seen anything yet … Don’t forget to be a good boy and help Mrs. ‘Thomas Catt’ with her “Rats.” Is she the one that put rat in ratification, Ha! No more from mama this time.
With lots of love, Mama.
